The Buffalo Niagara region is attracting interest from major developers and retailers from across the country, changing the face of retail in the region overnight. The City of Buffalo has positioned itself to cash in on the retail activity through a bold plan for redeveloping its waterfront. Come hear an update on plans, as well as presentations on model waterfront development efforts in other east coast cities and how retail impacted those projects.  Also, stay for a "retailer's showcase" featuring select retailers in the Buffalo Niagara market.
